He said that his job was to make it possible for blue collar workers to support their family, educate their children and achieve the American Dream again.
Heck why not 10 years or TWENTY years! yeah! that’ll show them.
“We are going to do NOTHING for 20 years, unless you give in to our demands!”
“And we mean it!”
That’s worked so well up til now!
Free Traitors™ should keep the fingers off the key board.
Nah.Person big Trumper.
Import tariffs make out economy stronger in the long term not weaker.
My job is to make it possible for blue collar workers to support their family, educate their children and achieve the American Dream again.
Yesgood idea. And add to blue collar, whites, cisgenders, patriots, Jewish, Christians.
“Looks like protectionists are winning.”
I anticipate that this package of tariffs will bump up to 25% on January 1st, unless China makes a deal (which I doubt). Then it will be 25% across the board.
There seems to be a quarterly rhythm to rolling them out, which allows time for reports to come in, and effects to be assessed. A shoot - look - shoot management approach.
In the real world, there are so many factors (and other players/competitors changing their actions), that you can never be sure how things will work out in practice - especially in the short term of a quarter or two. You need both a strategic plan, and tactical flexibility in executing it.
So far, potential downside risks, like increased prices for consumers, or big losses/layoffs at companies subject to retaliation, have been masterfully managed.
Part of the reason that tariffs have a bad reputation, is that few politicians are sophisticated enough to manage the effects of retaliatory actions so well.
We are really blessed to have President Trump and his team.
I suspect that is correct.
ohk, whatever. fregards
before federal income taxes, tariffs were a primary source of federal revenue. that is the founding of our country and its spectacularly strong early economic growth was in large part based on tariffs— also known by detractors and free traitors as “protectionism.” by the time a federal income tax was passed into law in 1913, the usa was a world power in all manner excluding name.
incidentally, the revenue act of 1913 coincidentally lowered tariffs. So... are you also a pro IRS advocate/enthusiast? just wondering.
“So... are you also a pro IRS advocate/enthusiast? just wondering.”
Also?
In addition to what? I don’t know where you are coming from.
